Data confidence 85 high
How this score is calculated

It is built from checkable properties of the record itself: whether the article has a DOI, how many independent sources confirmed its data, whether the required fields are filled in, and how recent the latest confirmation is. Disagreement between sources and a missing identifier lower it. A value of 80 or above means the record was published without further checking; 60 to 79 means it is published at reduced confidence, with a manual check advisable. A record verified by an editor by hand is never pushed below 90 by a recalculation. This scores our data about the article, not the article itself.

Abstract

In this paper, a new compact planar end-fire antenna is proposed. The antenna is designed for Medical and Wireless Body Area Network (MBAN & WBAN) applications and covers 2.25 GHz - 2.6 GHz. The fabricated antenna demonstrates a gain of 4.1 dB and radiation efficiency of 81% which is better compared to existing antennas designed on FR4 substrate. Furthermore, the size is the smallest among the known works.
